What Reviews Say

448 reviews analyzed

Always Unleashed Pet Resort is highly praised for its expansive cage-free facility, 24/7 webcam access, and popular water features like the dog pool. While many customers report happy, exhausted dogs and excellent grooming/training services, there are significant polarizing concerns regarding medical safety and management's defensive response to criticism. Serious allegations of neglect, breed discrimination, and post-boarding illnesses contrast sharply with the majority of 5-star 'doggy paradise' reviews.
